On August 8th 2015, over 600 guests have come to celebrate de GRISOGONO founder Fawaz Gruosi’s 63rd birthday, demonstrating their friendship and the place he holds in their hearts.
The place he has chosen this year for his birthday is where he likes to stay when he is not at the family residence. The Cala di Volpe Hotel, a place that perfectly symbolizes the Porto Cervo spirit, brimming with the kind of contrasts dear to Fawaz’ heart: majestic and intimate, simple and sophisticated. A place which is a reminder of the origins of this Emerald coast, its fishing villages and their picturesque, romantic accents, a place of sculpted architecture expressed through artistically designed porticos, arches and staircases. A place which inebriates the senses and brings to mind a sensory palette of the eucalyptus, bay leaves and wild juniper so closely bound up with Fawaz’ memories.
There is a mere ten-year age gap between Fawaz Gruosi and this place built in 1962. They clearly share a connection that goes far beyond numbers.
A star-studded event graced by the presence of special invited guests and the most stylish people gathered at the venue to wish ‘Happy Birthday’ and celebrate with Fawaz. Simona Ventura, Mara Venier, Valeria Marini, Claudia Galanti, Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Victoria Silvstedt, Flavio Briatore and Elisabetta Gregoraci, Countess Marta Marzotto and her niece Margherita Marzotto, the famous photographer Marco Glaviano and Caterina Murino, to name just a few.
For the occasion, the gardens and the beach have morphed to welcome and entertain guests for a cocktail moment around the majestic swimming pool. A sumptuous firework led the guests to the dinner and the traditional sought-after birthday cake. Mika has delighted the guests with a private music performance. The party has closed of on the beach with an intimate after party, celebrating the dawn on the Sardinian sand.
An evening mingling luxury and simplicity, marine influences and glamour, privacy and jet-set elegance. A truly timeless moment.
“While in my opinion, every instant in life is reason to celebrate, there is one day that resonates in my heart and that is the day on which I was born. Since then, and every day, life has given me its most precious gifts – health, love, friendship and happiness. To me, to be surrounded by those I love and of whom I am fond is the best way to thank them and an act of love.” Fawaz Gruosi
